On the other side, General Kun returned to Cangzhou City with about 20,000 surrendered troops.
Yuwen Mie was very happy to see General Kun successfully bringing back the surrender troops. It seemed that he had completed the task well this time. However, considering the concerns of Deputy City Lord Yin Xiao, Yuwen Mie specially called General Kun to the office, intending to have a good understanding of the whole process.
General Kun did not dare to hide it, so he had no choice but to tell Yuwen Mie the whole story.
After hearing this, Yu Wenmie was furious and immediately stood up and said, "Why are you doing this? Why are you going to suppress Po Kong when you have nothing to do?"
"This is not considered suppression. I just want to frustrate him and make the lord no longer value Po Kong."
"Who the lord values and who he doesn't, you don't need to meddle in."
"I am doing this for you, the city lord. Only if Po Kong makes a mistake this time can he be prevented from rising higher."
"Do you think Po Kong is stupid? Can he make mistakes so easily?"
"I was sure of winning this time, but a man named Xiang Feng jumped out in the middle. If it hadn't been for him, Po Kong would have violated military law."
"Speaking of which, I have never heard of Xiang Feng. How much personal information do you know about him?" Yu Wenmie suddenly became curious.
"The military rank is colonel. I don't know the others. They may be people transferred from other regiments."
"Most of the lieutenants around Po Kong know you. If you intended to cause trouble, they would turn a blind eye, but Xiang Feng not only saw through your tricks, but also helped Po Kong. Could it be that this Is Xiang Feng a member of the lord?"
"Lead... lord? No way?" General Kun suddenly became a little nervous.
"The possibility is very high, because the people in Po Kong's legion are all transferred from the Five Tiger Generals' legion, and the lord is not completely confident about Po Kong, so he will definitely arrange a few of his cronies in the legion. One can Monitor the movements of Pukong, and secondly, you can coordinate internal conflicts."
"Then...didn't I make a big mistake?"
"Yes, and it's a big mistake. Who do you think the lord is? Will he allow someone to interfere with it and make small moves behind his back? Not to mention the movements of the sky, even our movements, the lord is fully aware of it. ." Yuwen Mie said angrily.
"Captain, will I be a drag on you?"
"It won't be a drag, but it will definitely leave a bad impression on the lord. He will think that I am greedy for fame and frame my colleagues for fame and fortune."
"No, this has nothing to do with the leader. Everything is decided by me without authorization. When the lord comes back, I will explain it clearly to the lord."
"Shut up, and stop hurting me." Yuwen Mie said angrily.
"What? Harm you?"
"If you go out of your way to talk about this matter, the lord will feel even more that I have no tolerance and actually use my own subordinates to blame me."
"But none of this has anything to do with you, Captain." General Kun knelt down, his eyes moist and filled with regret.
"Given the countless contributions I have made to the force, the lord shouldn't care about it, and he won't even talk to me specifically about this matter. From now on, just pretend that this matter never happened. I just hope you won't be too smart in the future. , don’t waste your talents on intrigues.”
"Captain, I was wrong, I was really wrong."
"Don't blame yourself. Who made you my subordinate? I can only bear it for you. Also, I hope you can handle your relationship with Po Kong well in the future. In terms of official position, he is older than you , you must remember to pay attention to your attitude, and don’t be arrogant anymore.”
"Captain, I think the top priority is to handle the relationship with Xiang Feng. As long as Xiang Feng can be bribed, he will not report to the lord."
"General Kun, General Kun, why are you so brave? Do you even dare to bribe the lord's people?"
"I...I was wrong. I made a mistake. I made a big mistake."
"You should go back and reflect on it first. You must discuss it with me before doing anything in the future. Don't let me down again."
"I understand, I will be careful in my words and deeds in the future."
After Kun Jiang left, Yin Xiao, who had been sitting on the sofa watching the show, finally couldn't help it anymore: "He made such a mistake, won't you punish him?"
"General Kun is also thinking about me, so I won't punish him this time. Moreover, making him realize his mistakes and correct them is much more effective than so-called punishment."
"I just don't know if he will really realize his mistake. You must know that the young lord's thousands of whippings can't make him calm down his self-righteous attitude."
"This time is different. If what happened affects me, he will definitely pay attention to it." Yuwen Mie still has high hopes for General Kun.
"Okay, let's talk about something else. I'm curious about what you think about this matter?"
"whats the matter?"
"Before Po Kong joined Jiang's influence, the most likely person to become the governor of the Northern Province was you. But after Po Kong joined, the most likely person became him. And I also heard that the lord was in the negotiation for surrender. , has already made the promise of the governor of Northern Province one of the conditions."
"To be honest, power is a good thing. But if you pursue it too much, you will suffer the consequences. For example, Zhang Feng, when he competed with me for the position of the city lord of Cangzhou City, but the lord reduced his military power in disguise."
"Although Zhang Feng's military power was reduced, he became one of the deputy regiments of the Central Army Corps. This can be regarded as a disguised promotion."
In Jiang Zhi's power, there are three types of salary compositions for each soldier.
One is military rank, which is a fixed salary and can be regarded as a basic salary. Even if he does nothing, he still has income.
There is also position salary, such as city lord, regiment commander, deputy regiment commander, battalion commander, etc. This type of salary varies greatly. The salary will be calculated based on the size of the legion, the size of the city, the type of work, etc., but this type of income is generally higher than the income of military ranks.
There is another kind, which is also the favorite of some people, and that is military merit. Some people do not want to be high-ranking officials, but are willing to go to the front line to be junior generals in order to make meritorious deeds and gain military merit.
The higher the military merit points, the higher the monthly bonus. Sometimes, military bonuses are several times, or even dozens of times, the salary.
Zhang Feng originally led a small elite regiment. Although he had military power, his income was not very high. Now Zhang Feng has been assigned to Su Kouye's Central Corps as the deputy regiment. I can't say which official position is bigger or smaller, but at least the salary has increased a lot. The most important thing is that the Central Army Corps is about to go to war. There are many opportunities to kill people and make meritorious deeds, and the military merit points can skyrocket.
So on the surface Zhang Feng was stripped of his military power and unable to lead his own regiment, but in fact his income doubled. As long as your military merit score is high and your prestige is high, you won't have to worry about not being able to lead a group in the future.
Yuwen Mie didn't have any special emotions about this matter. Instead, he smiled and said: "This is just the lord's method. If Zhang Feng was not given the position of deputy commander of the Central Army, he would not be so happy to do it." My elite soldiers were handed over to Po Kong."
"It seems that you are quite open-minded." Yin Xiao also smiled.
"It seems that from the beginning, I was not a money-grubbing person."
"Yes, if you like money, I have plenty of it." Yin Xiao walked around Yu Wenmie, his movements very graceful.
"I really don't care about your money. But I care too much about you."
"Let's see if you have the courage." Yin Xiao slowly took off his coat.
"Who is afraid of whom?" Yu Wenmie immediately pushed Yin Xiao down...
On the other side, General Kun came to a military base and opened a cell with his own authority, which contained several ghosts, gods and humans.
These ghosts, gods and humans were the ones who followed Geng Guan and triggered the rebellion in Cangzhou. Only a few of them have been captured so far. The prison guards tortured these people every day and tried to find out where the others were hiding, but they were so tight-lipped that they refused to say anything.
Today, Kun had nowhere to vent his anger and resentment, so he came here, picked up the torture instrument, and beat the prisoner severely.
Soon, those tough-talking ghosts, gods and humans began to scream in agony as they couldn't bear the pain.
"Speak, speak quickly." General Kun's force was extremely powerful, which was completely beyond the endurance of the prisoners. Their skin and flesh were torn apart, and they were bleeding profusely.
The prison guards looked a little worried, because if General Kun continued to beat them like this, he would probably beat them to death.
But the prison guards' official positions were too low to stop General Kun.
General Kun was swinging his whip like crazy, and the blood on the whip splashed onto the wall of the cell. Soon the torture room became miserable.
But what is surprising is that General Kun's brutal torture actually worked. Several prisoners actually begged and shouted: "I said, can't I say it?"
The prison guards admired General Kun very much at this time, but they did not expect that as soon as he took action, the prisoners would actually attack him.
But the amazing thing is that General Kun still didn't seem to stop. He continued to torture him ferociously and shouted: "Say it or not? Say it or not? If you don't say it, I'll beat you to death."
"I said, I said I was going to say it, but you ask, ask quickly, what do you want to know." One of the prisoners' arm was beaten to the bone.
But General Kun still shouted: "If you don't tell me, I'll beat you to death."
The prison guards were completely dumbfounded. They really couldn't understand why? Why does General Kun still want to fight?
In fact, the prison guards didn't know what Kun's future purpose was. He didn't care at all about the small number of ghosts, gods and humans lurking in Cangzhou City. He was just venting his anger. He has been very unhappy these past few days. He obviously did nothing wrong, but he was punished by the young lord for no reason. He had clearly planned that Po Kong would definitely violate military law, but because of Xiang Feng, not only did he fail to accomplish the matter, but he also implicate the Lord of Yuwen City.
General Kun couldn't accept it, so he wanted to vent, and this torture room was the best place to vent.
Those prisoners were beaten by General Kun until they collapsed and screamed, begging for mercy: "I was wrong, I said, I said everything, but you asked."
But General Kun seemed indifferent to the prisoner's information. He pretended not to hear it and continued to torture him.
The prison guards felt something was wrong, and several of them stopped General Kun.
"Colonel, you can't fight anymore. If you fight again, you will really be killed. And they are going to recruit you. If they are willing to say it, you should stop fighting."
Facing the obstruction and persuasion of the prison guards, General Kun was too embarrassed to continue beating him. He pretended to say, "Ah? Are they going to say something?"
